Here's a short video that explains the project and how it uses Redis:

How is it blazingly fast?

It gets the required information that is necessary for redirect directly from redis. With the help of redis-search the time taken for retrieval is super fast. Along with this excellent retrieval time, I deployed serverless functions on the edge so the redirects are faster. So as a combination of both redis and next js we were able to achieve it.

Future scopes that will be added On a higher level, these are the future scopes that are possible to add.

• Using redis for saving and fetching analytics.
• Ability to share links dashboard with others.
• Protected links, with passwords.
• Time based analytics, to know at what time the link was clicked the most.
• Developer API to create the links.
• Marketplace to add widgets to the application.
• More ways for user to sign in.
